How Student Advisers can help you

Many students struggle with a number of issues while studying, but at UTAS there are people and student support services that can help you with these problems. Often knowing where to go can be the difficult part.

Student Advisers offer individualised assistance to help you solve your problems or identify where you need to go for help with these issues. Your Adviser will refer you to specialised support if necessary and follow up to see how it is all going. From simple requests for information, to more complex and serious matters, Student Advisers are your first point of contact if:

• have a question and don’t know who to ask
• are having difficulty understanding university procedures or accessing online information
• need help improving your time management skills
• have personal circumstances affecting your studies
• need initial advice on developing effective study strategies or planning assignments
• are on academic probation
• would like to know more about the other UTAS support services including: Counselling; Disability Services; Cross-Cultural Support; Careers & Employment; CALT Learning Support; English Assist and Library/ Research Support.
